(Received 9.50 a.m.) Sydney, May 15. Mr. Bean mentions instances of Turkish trickery. Just two battalions had started to charge when the order came "Cease Firing!*' Some men did cease but the officers questioned the order, and inquiries brought the reply that it had been issued from headquarters because the French and Indians were getting behind the Turks and there was the fear of hitting them. The officers knew this was impossible and ordered a renewal of the attack. Meantime the Turks used the pause to lire into the undefended men. The same trick was played at another part of the line. NO EVIDENCE. .(Received 9.50 a.m.) Adelaide, May 15.
